BioSchemas relies and extends from schema.org and aims to reuse existing standards and reach consensus among a wide number of life sciences organizations and communities.
This document describes RML, a generic mapping language, based on and extending [R2RML]. The RDF Mapping language (RML) is a mapping language defined to express customized mapping rules from heterogeneous data structures and serializations to the RDF [RDF-CONCEPTS] data model. RML is defined as a superset of the W3C-standardized mapping language [R2RML], aiming to extend its applicability and broaden its scope, adding support for data in other structured formats. [R2RML] is the W3C standard to express customized mappings from relational databases to RDF. RML follows exactly the same syntax as R2RML; therefore, RML mappings are themselves RDF graphs. The present document describes the RML language and its concepts through definitions and examples.
Calcyte is (will be) a toolkit for managing metadata for collections of content
via automatically generated spreadsheets and for creating static HTML repositories.
Calcyte targets the Draft DataCrate Packaging format v0.2.
At this stage Calcyte does not Bag content, it jsut creates Working DataCrates.
This document specifies a method of organising file-based data with associated metadata, known as DataCrate in both human and machine readable formats, based on the schema.org linked-data vocabularly, supplemented with terms from the SPAR ontologies and [PCDM] where schema.org does not have coverage. The motivation for this work comes from the research domain.
A DataCrate is a dataset a set of files contained in a single directory. There are two ways of organizing a DataCrate.
For working data or data that does not need to be distributed with checksums, a Working DataCrate is a plain-old directory containing payload data files, with two metadata files at the root; one for humans and one for machines.
For distribution, or archiving; where integrity is important, a Bagged DataCrate is a BagIt bag conforming to the DataCrate BagIt profile with the payload files in the /data directory. A Bagged DataCrate has a clear separation between metadata and payload, and can be integrity-checked using the checksums in the BagIt manifest.
Status: Recognised & Endorsed The Metadata IG will concern itself with all aspects of metadata for research data. In particular it will attempt to coordinate the efforts of the WGs concerned with metadata to produce a coherent approach to metadata covering metadata modalities of description, restriction, navigation, provenance, preservation and the use of metadata for the purposes discovery, contextualisation, validation, analytical processing, simulation, visualisation and interoperation. It will also liaise with the other WGs especially Data Foundation and Terminology, PIDs, Standardisation of data categories and codes and Data Citation. This IG activity relates to data management policies and plans of research organisations and researchers, and to policies and standards of research funders and of research communities which may or may not be official standards.
European Research Community on Flow, Turbulence and Combustion Database. This classic collection of test cases for validation of turbulence models started as an EU / ERCOFTAC project led by Pr. W. Rodi in 1995. It is maintained by Dr. T. Craft at Manchester since 1999. Initialy limited to experimental data, computational results, and results and conclusions drawn from the ERCOFTAC Workshops on Refined Turbulence Modelling (SIG15).
METS: An Overview & Tutorial: Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) Official Web Site. The METS schema is a standard for encoding descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata regarding objects within a digital library, expressed using the XML schema language of the World Wide Web Consortium. The standard is maintained in the Network Development and MARC Standards Office of the Library of Congress, and is being developed as an initiative of the Digital Library Federation.
